A member asked:

Is laser treatment for facial hair removal is safe for people prone to keloid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: People like yourself who are prone to keloid formation should seek the opinion of a dermatologist. You don't want to take any chances of scarring especially on your face.
